Spirituality in the Pub (September)

THEME GROUNDSWELL….THE FIRE THAT IGNITES…

Topic: Women’s Spirituality
Speaker:
Lisa Lyndon - Lisa is a 40 something mum, wife and social worker-who can’t detach herself from parish life because she’s a sucker for a great and moving hymn. She grew up with a fellowship orientation expressed through music and now, raising her daughter, is discerning her own journey of faith as a feminine human.
Gail Gill - Gail Gill is a mother and educator of long standing. Currently, her work involves the spiritual and theological formation of school boards in the Diocese of Broken Bay. Earlier this year, she made a commitment to the Mary Star of the Sea Association established by Bishop David Walker for Broken Bay.
